Donna Roy, LPC, CHT, is a licensed professional counselor and certified Hakomi therapist and teacher. She has a private counseling practice, teaches in M.E.T.A.'s professional trainings, is an adjunct instructor in the Portland State University Department of Counselor Education, and provides supervision for registered interns who are seeking licensure from the Oregon Board of Licensed Professional Counselors and Therapists.
Donna also directly supervises the M.E.T.A. Counseling Clinic interns. This means she meets weekly with them individually, and as a group. These meetings involve exploration of THEIR processes as they develop professionally. This can include discussion of client needs, concerns, appropriate interventions, and other topics related to providing the best counseling services possible. All things discussed in these meetings are strictly confidential and will be not shared outside of the meetings (unless there is a clear harm related need). As the Clinic supervisor, Donna supports each intern's development and strives to ensure all clients experience care, empowerment and help.
In addition to direct clinical supervision, Clinic interns periodically receive consultation and training from Jon Eisman, senior M.E.T.A. trainer. Jon is an internationally known counselor educator who has taught mindfulness-based psychotherapeutic skills to counselors and psychotherapists for 30 years. Jon has a deep understanding of what it means to be a human being, as well as clarity and wisdom regarding the process of becoming a skilled counselor. His expertise powerfully supports each intern's evolution, which in turn supports quality service for clients.
